Over a very short period of time NRSG extensively built their support network and volunteer group to help support the recently arrived asylum seekers. Support included: - Setting up regular admin support evenings where we signposted asylum seekers to services who could assist with their asylum claim. - Running regular English language classes run by volunteer English teachers recruited (vetted and DBS checked) by NRSG. - Collection of clothing, toiletries and other essential items from within the local community and then delivering to those who needed them most. - Organisation of recreational activities – from gym membership to setting up walk and chess groups to surf lessons. - Liasing closely with other local stakeholders regarding the welfare and needs of the asylum seekers – from the local health service to the police to Cornwall council. - Liasing with the local press concerning the presence of the asylum seekers and countering some of the negative press published regarding the asylum seekers. - Issuing of SIM cards to the asylum seekers that were provided to us by Vodafone. ## **Financial Review** The income for the 22/23 financial year was £7598.47 This was obtained through individual donations, local fundraising events and grants.
